Administration reinstates the Irish Guard +Guardsmen permitted to perform, but with strict stipulations on their behavior

men were probably just a little sleepy and had to rest up for their rigorous halftime performance. Apparently, their show was so good, adidas wants to create a special line of underwear modeled after the brand the Guard wears while in uniform.

Look what happened the last time a Notre Dame official fell asleep on the job. George O'Leary got hired. He still hasn't lost a game at Notre Dame.

So don't blame the Guardsmen for wanting to sleep. They've got a tough weekend. It starts around four o'clock Friday afternoon, where tradition demands the Guardsmen rid the world of 40-ounce bottles before standing for an entire pep rally. Then they're expected to party until a red haze creeps over the South Bend sky or until they forget their name, whichever happens last.

The next morning, on a mere two or three hours of sleep, the Guardsmen have to get up and lead the band around campus. So after marching from bed to toilet, they have to march from the Stadium to Bond Hall. Excuse them if they're tired by kickoff.

And that's just on a normal Saturday. Did you see the first half against Stanford? While Notre Dame's offense was busy giving Joey Hildbold little time to rest, fans kept waiting for Al Gore to walk out of the tunnel and do the Macarena to liven things up.

Sadly, Notre Dame missed a golden opportunity to establish a new tradition. The administration, which prefers changing tradition to changing underwear, could pass seat cushions to the Guard since the metal chairs make it hard to sleep.

Then the bookstore could get in on the act and make Kelly-green pillows for fans to use when Notre Dame's offense is on the field. And you thought The Shirt was the most popular thing the bookstore could sell.

Apparently, this isn't the first time members ofthe Guard have dozed off during a game. Yes, they have bad seats, and yes, they're exhausted from living up to tradition earlier in the day. But after they were caught rolling their heads on television, heads started rolling inside the Dome and Notre Dame suspended the Guard for a game.

The Guard will be back in uniform when the band travels to Florida State next weekend, but has certain performance standards that nobody wants to discuss. Supposedly, that means the Guard will have to stay awake the entire game and won't be able to rest up -after a morning of fulfilling tradition -for its halftime performance.

SMC lecturer to discuss education By SARAH NESTOR Saint Mary's News Editor

The Indiana Super-intendent of Public Instruction, Dr. Suellen Heed, will speak on the education system at Saint Mary's today as part of her tour of t h e northern portion of the state. Heed has already m a d e stops this month in Kosco F o r t Wayne, Muncie. Gary. Lafayette and Kokomo.

Though Heed was scheduled to come to South Bend last summer she did not originally plan on stopping at Saint Mary's.

Jessica Kosco, Saint Mary's junior and Student Academic Council representative, contacted the Indiana State education department last summer about having Heed as a guest speaker.

"I was thinking of speakers that could come to Saint Mary's, so that students can become more informed about issues that affect the education system," Kosco said.

"I think her coming is really important because she's a really good source for professional development."

Heed will discuss issues of teacher accountability, stan-

dardized testing and what local, national educators are doing to better the education system, said Kosco.

"Standards are a really big issue right now and she's [Heed] in charge of the Indiana State standards," Kosco said.

"I know they are necessary but as educators we are becoming more accountable for our students standards."

Reed is Indiana's Chief State School Officer, serving as the chairperson of the State Board of Education and CEO of the Indiana Department of Education.

She was first elected in November 1992 and was reelected to a third four-year term in November 2000. When Reed was re-elected in 2000 she made a promise to visit all 92 Indiana counties, giving her a chance to meet with local educators and hold town meetings.

"Our town meetings will enable us, as in the past, to take our message out of Indianapolis and to deliver it in a respectable, localized, and old-fashioned atmosphere," Reed said in a press release.

Reed will speak to students at Washington High School at 1:00 p.m. and then the town hall meeting will be held at Saint Mary's in Stapleton starting at 6:00 p.m.

The meeting is open to everyone in the community.

Students tense w-ith sniper loose By JESSICA BILLINGSLEY and LAURA KENNEDY The Maryland Diamondback

COLLEGE PARK, Md. For the first time since Sept. 11,

2001, Maryland students have been forced to bridge a unique gap between the isolated university community and the outside world.

Area residents remain on heightened alert as a sniper continues to attack people in the Washington area. The sniper has already killed nine victims and injured two others in the past two weeks, continuing to instill fear in many.

The most recent attack took place Tuesday night in a parking garage in front of a Home Depot in Falls Church, Va. The sniper took the life of Linda Franklin, a 4 7 -year-old woman from Arlington, Va., and left police continuing to clamor to arrest the elusive marksman.

Some students are fearful of the sniper, while others take comfort in what they consider to be the security of their environment.

Jonathan Kandel!, assistant director of the university Counseling Center, said students'

differing reactions result from their relatively recent experiences with traumatic events.

"People on campus seem to be experiencing less stress related to this event, especially in light of events like 9/11 and the tornadoes [on the campus] last year," Kandel! said.

Appointments at the Counseling Center have not increased as a result of the shootings, but the issue sometimes arises in discussions, he said.

For many, the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks had little effect on daily routines. The sniper attacks have the opposite effect, as many College Park residents are now more cautious when performing everyday tasks.

"When I cross Route 1. I make sure to cross with a pack of girls from my [sorority] house," said sophomore American studies major Lauren Angelo. She also said she parked closer to the Target store's entrance in Greenbelt on a recent visit.

Weekend attendance at some area restaurants dropped, as many students were reluctant to leave the campus.

However, some students said they feel the events of the last year, particularly those near the

university, numbed them to tragedy.

"I can't really say that [coping with the shootings is] easier. Tragedy is tragedy," said Daniel Lee, a sophomore communication major. "Nine-eleven was a tragedy like we'd never seen before, so yeah. I feel a little bit desensitized."

Similarly, many students said the impact of the shootings has been dulled by the onslaught of media coverage.

"It's definitely something we need to know about," said Ryan Fisher, a freshman mechanical engineering major. "But we don't need to be constantly reminded."

Still, some students said they find no correlation between last year's attacks and the sniper attacks and are therefore having separate emotional reactions.

''I'm worried about people who are close to campus but it hasn't changed my reaction." said sophomore Chris Dilonno, "I take it as two different events."

Despite students' initial reactions, the true emotional effects of a highly publicized tragedy may only be understood after a longer period of time, Kandel! said, citing an increase in visits to the Counseling Center after Sept. 11.

events, raise funds and promote spiritual and service events to help unite the freshman class.

"The [Class of 2006] council has a lot of things going for it and I really want to be a part of it [as an officer]," Leito said.

The council solidified plans for the Freshman-Sophomore Dance, which will be held Oct. 31 in the LaFortune Ballroom. The costume dance is cosponsored by the Class of 2005, the Class of 2006 and the Student Union Board. The council discussed plans for the Class of 2006 T-shirt.

Amy Geist, Class of 2006 sponsor, said, "I am looking forward to seeing the kinds of things the class council will produce now that the officers have been elected."

The council also elected five committee chairs. Marcus Brutoco, Stanford Hall representative, Steve Canham, Knott Hall representative, Jackie Clark, Welsh Hall representative, Megan Hanzlik. Farley Hall representative, and Kathryn Heynolds, Pasquerilla West Hall representative, were elected as fundraising, social, service, spiritual and publicity/communication chairs, respectively.

Jury deliberates in Ira Einhorn trial Associated Press

PHilADELPHIA A jury has begun deliberating

the fate of Ira Einhorn, the former hippie guru accused of killing his girlfriend in 1979.

Einhorn's attorney said during his closing argument that the discovery of the mummified corpse in the apartment the couple once shared is "just a piece of circumstantial evidence" that doesn't prove his client's guilt.

"It doesn't mean at all that Ira Einhorn is responsible for her murder,"

gests she was killed somewhere else and later placed in the trunk, Cannon said.

Einhorn has denied killing Maddux and maintains the body was put there to frame him. He has accused the CIA of setting him up because of his research into the agency's "psychic warfare" experiments.

"There were people who simply didn't like Ira Einhorn, people who were capable of doing something about it and, I suggest, did something about it," Cannon said.

Rosen called those allegations ridiculous.

"It is so William Cannon said.

Prosecutor Joel Rosen said the evidence of Einhorn's guilt is overwhelming.

before retiring for the day. They were to resume their work Thursday.

Einhorn, 62. is accused of killing Holly Maddux 25 years ago because she wanted to end their turbulent five-year relationship. Her remains were found in a steamer trunk in the closet of their Philadelphia apartment in 1979, 18 months after she disappeared.

He could get life in prison if convicted.

Cannon said that there is a lack of physical evidence tying Einhorn to the crime, and that Maddux's bludgeoning death would have left bloodstains in the apartment. The lack of blood sug-

Prosecutors had Einhorn read to the jury from his poems and diary entries, in which he wrote "to kill what you love when you can't have it seems so natural" and "violence always marks the end of a relationship."

Prosecutors also called the former owner of a bookstore who said Einhorn once asked for a "how-to" book on mummification. Einhorn jumped bail weeks before his trial was set to begin in 1981, and lived in Europe under assumed names until he was found in France in 1997. He was convicted in absentia in 1993, a verdict that was set aside to clear the way for his extradition in 2001.

95 charged with voter fraud Associated Press

COATES, Minn. Prosecutors charged 95 peo

ple with forgery Wednesday for an alleged scheme in which they all registered to vote using the same address: a strip club recently shut down by city officials.

Most of the alleged forgers lived outside the town. The scheme, in which the club's owner also was charged, could have given club supporters a political majority in the town of 163 people. The mayor and two council members are in contested races next month in Coates, where 79 voted in the 2000 general election.

"It's shocking to see such a blatant attempt to undermine the most fundamental pillar of our democracy - our right to vote," Dakota County Attorney James Backstrom said.

Club owner Richard J. Jacobson. 32, of Prescott, Wis .. was charged with conspiracy to commit forgery and conspiracy to commit unlawful voting for allegedly orchestrating the scheme. The other 94 were charged with forgery and conspiracy to commit forgery. All the charges are felonies, and each carries a maximum sentence of three years in prison.

Backstrom said he believed some of the defendants were employees at the club. called Jake's, but thought most were

customers who might have been duped into signing the registration cards.

A federal judge ordered Jake's closed last week for violating the city's law regulating sexually oriented businesses.

Reached at the club, Jacobson declined to comment.

His attorney, Randall Tigue, said under Minnesota law county auditors are supposed to notify people believed to be registered improperly. It's fraud only if those people then try to vote.

"I think that it is real clear that no crime has been committed," he said.

Coates is about 15 miles south of St. Paul.

N. Korea acknowledges nuclear weapon program Associated Press

WASHINGTON In a startling revelation, North

Korea has told the United States it has a secret nuclear weapons program in violation of an 1994 agreement with the United States, the White House said Wednesday night.

Spokesman Sean McCormack called the North Korean disclosure a serious infringement of the agreement, under which Pyongyang promised not to develop nuclear weapons.

U.S. ollicials, who spoke on the condition of' anonymity, said North Korea told U.S. officials that it was no longer bound by the anti-nuclear agreement.

State Department spokesman Hichard Boucher said late Wednesday the United States had been ready to offer North Korea economic and other benefits if Pyongyang agreed to curb missile programs. end threats and change il'i behavior in other ways.

are back to square one. It was not clear from the

remarks by McCormack and other officials whether the United States believes the North actually has the bomb or whether it is still being developed.

There was no immediate reaction from North Korea to the White House announcement.

The two countries had just resumed high-level security talks less than two weeks ago for the first time in two years.

It was during those discussions that North Korea informed the United States of its nuclear activities.

McCormack said the United States is consulting with it allies, South Korea and Japan, and with members of Congress on next steps.

"We seek a peaceful resolution of this situation," McCormack said. "Everyone in the region has a stake in this issue and no peaceful nation wants to see a nuclear-armed North Korea."

:~l ~ .......... ,.._.__;

"In light of our concerns about the North's nuclear weapons program, however, we are unable to pursue this approach," Boucher said.

lie said Undersecretary of State John Bolton and other oiTIcials are traveling to the region to exchange views with allies.

"The United States and our allies call on North Korea to comply with its commitments under the nonproliferation treaty and to eliminate its nuclear weapons program in a verifiable manner."

The dramatic disclosure complicates President Bush's campaign to disarm Iraq under threat of military force, coming almost nine months after Bush said North Korea was part of an "axis of evil" along with Iran and Iraq.

South Korean Deputy Foreign Minister Lee Tae-Sik holds a press conference in Seoul on Wednesday. South Korea urged North Korea to abide by nuclear agreements following US revelations that the Communist state had admitted to having a secret atomic weapons program.

The 1994 commitment had raised hopes for a nuclear-free Korean peninsula, but that hope is dashed for the time being, and relations with the United States

It seems unlikely, however, that North Korea will become a target country for the United States much as Iraq is nowadays.

With war plans for Iraq already on the drawing board and a broader war on terrorism

still under way, threats against North Korea could leave the United States overextended.

Until now, the United States' main concern with North Korea has been its sale of ballistic missiles to Syria, Iran and other

countries. Now North Korea's nuclear program is added to the mix.

The United States has been suspicious about North Korea's nuclear intentions for some time despite the agreement.

Bush signs resolution authorizing war against Iraq Associated Press

WASHINGTON

Nations for a tough new anti-Iraq resolution. He warned France, Russia, China and other balking allies that Saddam poses a grave threat to their security.

"First of all, I have told the prime minister that my hope is that we could achieve disarmament of the Iraq regime peacefully."

On a follow-up question, Bush seemed to limit the discussion to the consequences of an immediate, unprovoked attack by Saddam. "If Iraq were to attack Israel tomorrow, I'm sure there would be an appropriate response," he said.

Fleischer would not say whether Bush asked Sharon to hold his fire if attacked by Iraq amid a U.S.-led war.

However, a senior administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Sharon would be asked to "understand how we can work together to achieve our bigpicture goals" - a subtle but unmistakable signal that the United States would prefer that Israel not retaliate.

President Bush on Wednesday signed a congressional resolution authorizing war against Iraq, and told Prime Minister Ariel Sharon that Israel has a right to retaliate if Saddam Hussein strikes his nation now without provocation.

"If Iraq attacks Israel tomorrow, I would assume the prime minister would respond," Bush said in remarks that created confusion about his expectations for Israel if America goes to war. ''lie's got a desire to defend himself."

"Those who choose to live in denial may eventually be forced to live in fear," the president said as the United Nations opened two days of contentious debate over his Iraqi plans. In an East Room ceremony to sign the war-making resolution, Bush also said it's time to "fully and finally" disarm Iraq and remove Saddam from power.

After a lengthy meeting with Sharon, the president was asked whether he wanted Israel to refrain from retaliating if Iraq attacks in response to a U.S.-led war. Bush's father persuaded Israel to hold its fire during the 1991 Persian Gulf War.

White House officials hastily tried to clarify Bush's remarks, saying he was not giving Israel a green light to retaliate if Iraq attacks in response to U.S. action.

A senior Israeli official, also asking not to be identified, said Bush did not ask Sharon to show restraint in the face of an Iraqi attack. However, such a request would normally be made by presidential advisers. Sharon met Tuesday with National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice and he meets Thursday with Secretary of State Colin Powell.

In a llurry of activity, Bush tried to use Sharon's visit and the vote of support in Congress to ease opposition at the United Sidestepping the question, Bush said,

In a war situation, the United States would consult Israel, spokesman Ari Fleischer said. "That is a separate issue from if Iraq tomorrow launched an attack unprovoked, whether they would have a right to defend themselves," he said.

Appeals Court Justice Kenneth Laurence ruled the same day church officials appealed a 3-week-old order to produce the documents in a civil case against retired priest Paul Shanley and the archdiocese.

Faith Hill gets funky on latest CD Irreverent cartoon hits timely note Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Hill's newest album, "Cry,"

released Tuesday, is laced with R&B and rock, completing her transformation from country ingenue to full-blown pop diva.

"I don't know if it's risky or not," she says. "I hope my fans like it, but I'm sure there will be those who question it."

On the new album, Hill becomes a one-woman En Vogue on a song written by Pink, "If You're Gonna Fly Away." She tries a dramatic recitation on "Beautiful," a Motown groove on "Unsaveable" and edges into Barbra Streisand territory on "One." A plan to have Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler sing on the title track didn't work out.

"It came very, very close, and it didn't happen," Hill says with disappointment, talking by cell phone from Los Angeles while being driven from a TV taping to a photo shoot.

She was in New York•last weekend for an appearance on "Saturday Night Live," and her own special airs on NBC Nov. 28.

Where she once naively chirped about being a "Wild One," Hill now sings with authority about being "Free," backed by percolating R&B rhythms and electronic effects.

"My fans have actually seen that side of me many, many times in concert. I've just never captured it on record like I have now," she says.

"It's just growth. It might sell 200,000 or it might sell 8 million. It would be heartbreaking if not as many people got to hear it, but I would still be very, very proud of it."

Odds are Hill won't be nursing a broken heart this time around. "Cry" is expected to be one of the year's top selling albums.

Hill has already sold more than 25 million records, including 8 million of "Breathe," which won best country album in 2001 - one of three Grammys for Hill that year.

She crossed over to the pop charts with hits like "This Kiss" and "The Way You Love Me," and the new material ventures further, away from wholesome pop for a more urban sound.

"I don't think the consumer cares" how Hill's music is labeled, said Jim Ed Norman, president of her label, Warner Bros. Nashville. "It's going to appeal to them or not."

Michael McCall, senior editor of Country Music Magazine, said Hill's latest sound is part of "a gradual but steady musical progression."

"If you're a purist, you were already upset about her," he said.

"I don't think it's a given that she's going to be a huge pop star, but it's certainly what they're going for."

Hill, 35, says the album is a return to her roots, in a way.

"Most of my fans know where the root of my music started, and that's the church," she said. "I have a very very strong, heavy gospel and R&B

foundation .... I just never have been able to find the songs that have allowed me to be free with it."

After six years in Nashville, she scored her first record deal, with Warner Bros., and her first single - "Wild One" -went to No. 1. She shifted to a more pop sound and scored more hits with "This Kiss" and "Breathe."

She also has recorded duets with husband Tim McGraw, whom she met on tour and married in 1996. [She and first husband Dan Hill divorced in 1994.] The couple lives outside of Nashville, and Hill has spent the past couple of years largely out of the public eye. She gave birth to their third daughter, Audrey Caroline McGraw, in December.

"I've been having a regular life," Hill says. "Not being in front of a camera every day was definitely a change for me. I was working on this album the whole time, just at a less frantic pace than usual. Just having the time to really work on it made a big difference."

To promote the album, Hill is traveling to Europe, Australia and Japan, as well as around the United States over the next month. Most of the time, her girls go with her.

"The suitcases are larger and more plentiful," the singer says. "Anybody who knows traveling with kids, it's just hilarious, the things that you have to take .... You don't know what you'll be able to walk around the corner and grab. It's like a traveling circus."

SAN FRANCISCO Cartoonist Larry Gonick

knew he might be asking for trouble when he set out to draw a comic-strip version about the birth oflslam.

He had no idea that the third volume in his "Cartoon History of the Universe" series, now in bookstores, would arrive at such a con-tentious time.

Gonick said he tried to be fair and accurate, but he also wanted to have some fun.

He is an equal-opportunity offender, using references to actual historical events he digs out of his research to draw cartoons of such nuggets as these: pre-Islamic Meccans defecating in a Yemenite cathedral to protest the Christian presence in Arabia; ninth-century Hindus expressing their belief

Garry Trudeau, creator of "Doonesbury," said Gonick's "unexpectedly timely" volume may help people understand the current tensions. "Will reading an erudite, if flat-out hilarious account of Middle East history help us make sense of our current clash of cultures? Let's put it this way: Ignorance hasn't worked," Trudeau said.

Still, the 300-pages of cartoon panels are sure to offend some conservative Muslims and Islamic scholars who may take offense at the author's humorous take on their history.

goes too far, that he takes too many liberties with historical fact and that his cartoon history book perpetrates the notion that "Muslims have always disliked Jews."

In the latest installment of black and white drawings, bearded prophets travel the desert, their robes blowing in the winds; armor-clad Chinese nobles parade the head of an unkind emperor on a bamboo staff; and on the book's cover, in a possible premonition, a narrator resembling Albert Einstein flees as an angry crowd hurls oranges, apples and fish at him.

IN BRIEF

U.S. judge extends port work order The labor dispute at West Coast ports

appears set to escalate, with shipping companies planning to give federal prosecutors data on Thursday that they say show an orchestrated slowdown by longshoremen in the week since a federal judge reopened the ports.

The Pacific Maritime Association, which has been monitoring dockside productivity since the 1 0-day lockout ended, hopes that Justice Department lawyers will use the documentation to ask the judge to force dockworkers to pick up the pace- or to penalize them.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge William Alsup formally approved the 80-day "coolingoff" period mandated under the Taft-Hartley Act. Last week, President Bush invoked that law, which allows the government to intervene in a strike or lockout that threatens to "imperil the national safety or health."

FDIC chief: Overhaul banking rules The head of the Federal Deposit Insurance

Corp. on Wednesday proposed a major overhaul of the system for regulating the nation's banks that would replace the current patchwork of federal agencies with a single U.S. bank regulator.

The proposal by FDIC Chairman Donald Powell, in a speech to a financial issues group, was a surprise to other federal bank regulators. It wasn't immediately clear whether the Bush administration was supporting the idea; the FDIC is an independent agency.

Ford beats Wall Street expectations Ford Motor Co. posted a $326 million loss

in the third quarter Wednesday but its results before one-time expenses topped Wall Street predictions -just as bigger rival General Motors Corp. did a day earlier.

The world's two largest automakers also face similar concerns over mounting pension liabilities. Such worries on Wednesday prompted Standard & Poor's to lower GM's long-term credit rating.

and announce it was reviewing Ford's rating to see if it should be lowered.

Andersen put on probation + Accounting firm given fines, probation

Associated Press

HOUSTON Already shattered by the

Enron scandal, the Arthur Andersen accounting firm was sentenced Wednesday to five years probation and fined $500,000 for thwarting the federal investigation of the fallen energy giant.

The punishment for Andersen's obstruction-ofjustice conviction was the maximum allowed under law. Prosecutors had asked for the harshest possible penalty to make an example of the once-proud flrm.

"Andersen's conduct in obstructing the Securities and Exchange Commission investigation of Enron contributed to the historic shaking of the foundations of our markets," prosecutor Sam Buell told the judge.

Probation seems a hollow threat for a firm that shuttered its audit practice and closed offices across the country after its conviction in June. Andersen, once a revered member of the Big Five accounting flrms, has fewer than 1,000 of 28,000 employees left on the payroll.

Probation means Andersen faces more fines and extended probation if it violates terms set by U.S. District Judge Melinda Harmon. The terms include no criminal activity and permission from a federal probation officer before Andersen can sell its assets. Andersen also was ordered to pay $400 in court costs.

Andersen attorney Rusty Hardin said the company still believes its employees committed no crime and accused the government of "drumming an entire company out of business for the actions of a few."

Former partner Bob Palmquist called the case a "sideshow" that forced thousands of workers who never touched the Enron account to scramble for other jobs.

U.S. Assistant Attorney and Enron Lead Prosecutor Leslie R. Caldwell speaks with the media Wednesday in Houston, Texas about Andersen's probation.

"Good work, guys," he said to prosecutors outside court. "Take it to your grave."

Leslie Caldwell, head of the Justice Department's Enron Task Force, said flrm managers are responsible for Andersen's demise -not the government.

Andersen's criminal trial was the first to emerge from last year's dizzying collapse of Enron, which cost shareholders millions and employees their nest eggs.

Most of the testimony during Andersen's trial focused on document shredding and the destruction of computer records. Prosecutors suggested the actions were intended to keep material from investigators looking into Enron's collapse.

The auditor in charge of

Enron, David Duncan, told jurors how he ordered employees to comply with the flrm's document retention policy, which calls for the destruction of extraneous material.

He admitted he knew material that might be of interest to investigators would be destroyed.

But after the verdict, jurors said they did not pay much attention to the shredding, and instead focused on an e-mail sent by Andersen lawyer Nancy Temple to Duncan over a press release about Enron's earnings.

Temple asked Duncan to remove a sentence and eliminate her as an addressee because it might increase "the chances that I might be a witness, which I

prefer to avoid," according to testimony and court documents. She also suggested Duncan delete "language that might suggest we have concluded the [Enron earnings] release was misleading."

The Oct. 16 press release disclosed a $618 million loss and elimination of $1.2 billion of shareholder equity, news that sent Enron shares tumbling. Enron filed for bankruptcy six weeks later.

Andersen fired Duncan in January after he publicly acknowledged Enron documents had been shredded. He later pleaded guilty to obstruction and agreed to cooperate with the government. His sentencing is set for Jan. 3.

No one else at Andersen has been charged. NYSE

Dynegy, Inc. to quit energy trading Associated Press

HOUSTON Dynegy Inc., which once considered

a rescue buyout of Enron Corp., announced Wednesday it is getting out ofthe energy trading business, its chief operating officer is resigning and significant layoffs are coming.

The company also said it is decentralizing iis corporate structure, making business units in power generation, natural gas liquids, regulated energy delivery and communications more autonomous.

Dynegy said it will wind down outstanding energy trading contracts, but dumping the cash-hungry busi-

ness cuts pressure to borrow money. The company had faced the need to

renew $1.3 billion in credit over the next several months but was hindered by its below-investment-grade credit ratings.

"The decision to exit this business is expected to reduce the company's collateral requirements and overall corporate expenses," the company said.

Steve Bergstrom, a holdover from the management team led by company founder and former chief executive Chuck Watson, who resigned in May, will resign as chief operating officer and withdraw as a candidate to replace Watson.

"I fully support the steps leadership is taking to address current market conditions and position the company for the future," Bergstrom said.

Other energy marketers grappling with the weak trading environment also have scaled back those operations with layoffs in recent months, including El Paso Corp., UBS Warburg Energy and Reliant Resources. Williams Cos. is seeking a buyer for its trading operation.

Last month Kansas City-based Aquila Inc. announced it would abandon its trading business, and earlier this month said former president and chief executive officer Robert K. Green would step down.

Winona Ryder drug charge tossed out

Santana has 'Supernatural' bent

Associated Press

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. A judge dismissed a drug

charge Wednesday against actress Winona Ryder and rescheduled her trial for Oct. 21 on three remaining felony counts from her shoplifting arrest.

Superior Court Judge Elden Fox ruled in

that the charge was dropped after defense lawyers provided a sworn declaration from Ryder's doctor that he'd given her the Oxycodone pills without a prescription.

"The responsibility for providing the drug would be the doctor's," said Sandi Gibbons, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office. "Therefore,

Gibbons said there was an ongoing investigation into how the actress obtained the

"It's unfortunate it's taken them 10 months to do this," said Mark Geragos, Ryder's attorney. "I applaud them."

Geragos said prosecutors had evidence almost immediately after Ryder's arrest that she had a prescription for the two pills, a generic form of the painkiller Percocet.

"The worst thing you can say is that she was trying to save a couple of bucks," Geragos quipped outside court in reference to the generic pills.

Ryder, accused of shoplifting $6,000 worth of merchandise, will stand trial on the remaining charges of felony grand theft, burglary and vandalism. She faces up to three years in prison if convicted.

The 30-year-old star of such films as "Girl, Interrupted" and "Heathers" smiled at court employees and seemed upbeat as she chatted with the bailiff before the hearing.

She said little, only answering "Yes, sir" when asked whether she agreed to the trial date, and offered no comment while leaving the courtroom.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. The followup to Santana's

hugely successful "Supernatural," "Shaman" -due out Tuesday - is one of the year's most anticipated albums. Like its predecessor, which won nine Grammys and sold 25 million copies, it's loaded with guest artists and a blend of musical styles.

"S.hamans heal with music and herbs," Carols Santana says. "You have Buddha, Krishna, Allah, Rama, Jehovah ... they all want unity and harmony on this planet, all of them. That's the message: unity and harmony and transform your fear."

There's blues, jazz, Latin, hip-hop and classical. There's the early hit single, "The Game of Love," with 19-yearold pop star Michelle Branch, and the startling "N ovus," with tenor Placido Domingo.

In the 40-plus years since Santana played mariachi as a boy in Mexico, he has built a style that weaves such varied elements and makes them distinctively his.

His openness to such collaboration evolved through a spiritual process, he says, some of it coming to him in

· 1997 or 1998 after the death of his father, a violinist.

As a boy, Carlos had first wanted to play saxophone, but taking up the guitar could hardly be called a mistake. Nor could his move as a

ENGLAND IRELAND

Bloody Sunday witness testifies EU needs Irish vote Associated Press

LONDON Elite British troops killed 13

Catholic civilians without justification and committed "unspeakable acts" on Bloody Sunday 30 years ago, a veteran of the Northern Ireland massacre testified Wednesday.

Testimony by the former paratrooper, who is identified only as Soldier 027 and has his face concealed by a screen, was expected to take up to four days.

The former soldier, once a member of the elite Parachute Regiment, has lived for the past three years on a British witness-protection program because of fears that former regimental comrades could attack him.

The Bloody Sunday Inquiry is trying to establish what happened in Londonderry on Jan. 30, 1972, when paratroopers opened fire on Catholic demonstrators.

Bloody Sunday was a watershed event in the history of Northern Ireland, radicalizing many Catholics to support the IRA, which killed about 1,800 people before calling a 1997 cease-fire. The British army killed about 350 people in the conflict, none since 1992.

"Unspeakable acts took place on Bloody Sunday," he said.

"There was no justification for a single shot I saw fired.

The only threat was a large assembly of people, and we were all experienced soldiers who had been through riot situations before."

Britain appointed the threejudge panel from England, Australia and Canada in 1998, and its conclusions are supposed to be published in 2004.

Other soldiers - scores of whom are scheduled to testify during the tribunal's London session in coming weeks -insist they fired in response to gunfire from the Irish Republican Army and were aiming at gunmen within the crowd. A 1972 tribunal ruled largely in the soldiers' favor.

But Soldier 027 said his battalion, 1 Para, had become brutal and frustrated from months of duty in Belfast in late 1971, the year that the IRA began sniping at British soldiers and bombing their bases.

"There was nothing 1 Para wanted more than for the IRA to come out into the open and take us on," he testified.

The night before his unit was deployed to Londonderry to police a Catholic protest march, he said, a commander briefed soldiers that it was "likely that there would be shooting incidents the following day which would result in us getting kills."

In early 1972, the Catholic west side of Londonderry was an uncontested IRA power base, with roads blocked to

.. '. "''!'

'' ··'v.• ~.~w'

prevent access by police and the local army garrison. Soldier 027 said the paratroopers were told to expect IRA gunfire when they crossed a barricade to arrest protesters.

"What made Bloody Sunday so significant was that the rule book was torn up and the accepted game plan, developed through precedent, was thrown away," he said.

Once across the barrier, Soldier 027 said, two paratroopers began firing directly into the crowd, other soldiers joined in, and "there was no command to prevent or stop this happening."

One soldier "indicated to me that he thought what was happening was great. He was exuberant," he said.

"I looked through my sights, scanning across the crowd. I was as keen to find a target as anyone, but I just could not identify a target that appeared to justify engaging. I did not see anyone with a weapon or see or hear an explosive device.

"I have a clear memory of consciously thinking, 'What are they firing at?"'

Soldier 027 said his original 1972 accounts, presented to military police and the original tribunal. contained false details designed to justify the soldiers' shooting. The 1972 tribunal also accepted forensic evidence, later discredited, that some of those slain were using weapons .

DUBLIN Danish Prime Minister

Anders Fogh Rasmussen warned of dire consequences for European integration Tuesday if Irish voters again reject a plan to bring 12 new member nations into the European Union.

"We are at a historic crossroads in Europe," Fogh Rasmussen said after meeting with Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern. "We have a historic chance to reunite Europe."

Ireland is scheduled to hold a referendum Saturday on the Treaty of Nice, which authorizes nations of southern and eastern Europe to join the Union.

The first Irish referendum last year failed 54 percent to 46 percent. Ireland is the only EU member to reject the treaty, which must be ratified by all 15 nations in the Union.

Fogh Rasmussen came to Ireland to address concerns about expansion, which many fear would hurt the Irish economy. erode its influence within the EU, and require an end to its neutrality. Opponents have focused on those fears, plastering Dublin with posters such as one showing an anxious man with a gun pointed at his head.

But Fogh Rasmussen warned in a news conference of an "unprecedented crisis" in efforts to create a peaceful. economically integrated European continent if the referendum

fails. "I am confident the Irish peo

ple know the importance of the vote," said the prime minister of Denmark, which currently holds the rotating EU presidency.

Fogh Rasmussen is scheduled to be the chairman of a summit next week for the 15 EU leaders to discuss the cost of nearly doubling membership in the Union. But that meeting will become irrelevant if Ireland rejects the treaty. "There is no Plan B," he said.

The Treaty of Nice was approved by EU leaders after intense negotiations in 2000. It would allow the entry by Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Slovakia, Cyprus and Malta by 2004 and Romania and Bulgaria by 2007.

Opponents in Ireland include members of the Green Party, anti-globalists, left-wing activists and conservative Catholics. Some stress Irish that neutrality will evaporate as the EU builds a 60,000-strong force of peacekeepers that needs NATO backing.

The opposition Fine Gael party urged voters to endorse the treaty, saying the EU has been good for Ireland. "Rather than seeing conspiracies in every clause of this treaty, we should treat it as ... an opportunity to build a dynamic union," said Richard Bruton, a party spokesman.

A day in the life of an English bum I met Danny J. a few blocks from

our flat. It was evening, and I was heading to a pub in search of a story. Danny J. stopped me along the way and asked if I had some spare change. I saw the opportunity, explained my quest and asked if he had some spare time. He looked at me, I looked at him and he motioned

towards the McDonald's: "How 'bout some coffee? I can explain a day in the life of an Englishman on the streets."

We ordered some coffee inside and took a seat. OJ put down the cup of change he was carrying and explained the notebook he was carrying. ''I'm raising 20 pounds for the Saint Mungos charity. I need it to have a bed for the night. If you had 17 quid, that would be great, Andrew." I asked him about his charity. He said they had offices all over London. He couldn't name where the closest one was and said he wasn't allowed to give the location of their main office. I started to doubt his integrity.

OJ reported that his day began a few blocks away outside Cullens, a grocery store near a tube station. He had slept only five hours or so, and his eyes drooped the longer we talked. He owns a sleeping bag and a rucksack with his belongings, but those were in a friend's care at the moment. In the morning he went to the Mission, a day center for the homeless. There he got a free shower and exchanged his clothes.

His hands are smudged with dirt and brown hair protrudes from a cap with a construction company's logo. A white and gray flannel covered his blue adidas shirt. He said 300 go to the Mission daily, though he hadn't become friends with any of them. When asked what food they served, he hesitated and said they had copyright rules and he wasn't allowed to tell. My suspicion grew.

After spending the time at the shelter, he begged in the streets, trying to make 40 pounds ($60 U.S.) as he

does each day. The responses he gets begging are "decent." Some give him change, a couple give him a cigarette and others pick up a bit of food in the grocery stores for him. But, a few hurl insults at him, leaving him feeling ignored and frustrated: ''I'm asking politely. Basically I'm surviving! Don't tell me you're sorry!" A survey taken on London homelessness shows that intimidation from the public is second to the cold for being the worst part of sleeping rough.

If people have other financial obligations or question if spare change would feed an addition, how does he want them to reply? "By not judging us. By giving us a chance. We're human people, just like you. We've just got nowhere to live." People can help with more than their money. "We need someone to talk to." He appreciates anyone who pauses even for just one second to greet him and ask how he is doing.

Dismissal by common people walking by follows a pattern of rejection that drives many into homelessness. One agency notes that "the break-up of a relationship is the most common trigger for going on the street. Even those on the street that society criticizes for being alcoholics and drug users deserve their mercy too." The same agency notes that "poor parenting, parents who themselves are heavy drinkers or neglectful or abusive, can set bad examples for their children's behaviour."

A number who become homeless due to factors unrelated to drugs become substance abusers to help numb the pain faced on the street. One man is noted for saying. "You are let down too many times in life and in the end you don't bother with people anymore."

Homelessness is a lonely, downward spiral for some. But, when asked what, if anything, those sleeping rough enjoyed about it, they noted the companionship. OJ said that he did have a few friends on the street. "You look after each other. We're our own little community. At the end of the day, you survive each other." While he criticized the police who may take them to jail for begging, few people do more than insult

them. "The homeless backs are watched."

After 45 minutes of talking, OJ was ready to leave and raise the money he still needed for the night. I gave him the three pounds and 50 pence I had in my pocket and asked what advice he would pass on to college students in America.

"Take each day as it comes. Live life fully. If you meet a homeless person, stop and talk to them. Listen to them. If you can, help them."

On our way out, he grabbed some French fries on a table, and we walked for a couple blocks. He eagerly asked people for change, and when they declined or kept walking, he yelled after them: "Please don't ignore me! What would you do if you were homeless?" We shook hands, he walked after another man he saw, and I returned to my life of luxury at the Landward.

I don't know how much of DJ's story was true. But, as I type, I'm looking at a Web site of Saint Mungos, an actual building only a couple blocks away.

Even if his story was all lies, there's something momentously important about having that gift of direct interaction with someone. Service is often viewed as an action. But, service is at its best when realized in a relationship. Service becomes a way of live where the relationship becomes a service in itself for both involved.

I will go to St. Mungos and learn about their services to help the homeless. For the next column, I will also learn about another service for the homeless, which is known around here as The Big Issue. If I'm lucky, maybe I will be meet Daniel J again to ask him how his day has been.

Bring back the Irish Guard First of all, let me say that I have been a Notre Dame

football season ticket holder for 36 years. To my shock and dismay and that of all the old-time

fans around me, the Irish Guard was missing from the game day against Pittsburgh. Not knowing what was happening, I asked around.

The rumor was that two members of the Irish Guard were caught sleeping on national television. Then you hear all the other stuff.

Bottom line, the entire Irish Guard were excluded from the day's activities.

NDTODAY /OBSERVER POLL QUESTION

Was Notre Dame justified in suspending the Irish Guard from last Saturday's game?

Vote at NDToday.com by today at 5 p.m.

Of course I said, "In 36 years of Irish home games, I never remember the entire Guard not participating with the band and the team." Then in The Observer I read an article that says the Guard has been disbanded in two or three separate seasons for various reasons.

Keep the return to glory alive. Bring back the Irish Guard.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Readers support a truly American debate Liberals seek an open discussion Attachment to America should be

an attachment to peace, instead of to a symbol or an outdated idea. When considering patriotism and nationalism one should remember the words of Ken Kesey who declared, "The flag is a symbol we attach our emotions to, but it isn't the emotion itself and it isn't the thing we really care about. Sometimes we don't even realize what we really care about, because we get so distracted by the symbols."

In the future, when making a political statement, the students of Notre Dame should think about the emotion and belief they' are professing and not simply rely on a symbol that they believe to represent those ideals.

None of us peace-loving, barefoot, stereotypical Phishheads ever said we "understood the plight of the Afghani refugees." We simply failed to understand the goals and beliefs of a wealthy, less than compassionate president who is solely concerned with oil and an insatiable desire to begin nation building in the Muslim world.

Our confusion, pain and need for hope was instead expressed in the only way we knew how - discussing peace in small groups in the

Morrissey Chapel, sharing ideas of a nuke-free world around tables in Waddick's and writing editorials regarding human rights in both Common Sense and The Observer.

The small, liberal minority on this campus is not concerned with conquering the conservative majority, erasing their handed-down patriotic beliefs and misguided dreams for this country. Indeed, Notre Dame students concerned with peace desire to spread a message of justice and understanding, perhaps allowing the general population to see the other side of the story.

The growing liberal presence is a beneficial addition to this campus; by creating a dialogue between the opposing views eventually we will be able to come upon a solution, goal or ideal that both sides can agree upon. Now is the time for students of each persuasion - liberal and conservative - to make their words known. not in a hegemonic manner but instead one of mature and intellectual discussion.

New US. role requires new ideas Patriotism should not be defmed by one's willingness to blindly agree with

prominent national leaders, even during times of national threat. Rather, Americans should be characterized as people who promote democratic values of free speech, justice and human rights. Post-Sept. 11 does in fact call for a strengthening of our national character, but an educated person would recognize that this new foreign policy cannot be based on attitudes similar to our grandparents' generation.

The United States is in a unique position to foster change. However. America's role as a superpower is not an absolute. Today's globalized world requires different types of negotiation.

American leaders must be aware of the reactions and repercussions their actions and decisions have abroad. We must promote American values in a positive light; the go-it-alone and double-standard attitude typical of past policies will not suffice. If Americans fail to recognize our patriotism in terms of democratic ideals and continue to advocate narrow foreign policy, we risk a loss of power that will isolate us from the rest of the world.

Students' concern with the causes of anti-American sentiment is justified and suggests positive change. It represents new options to be exhausted before returning to old avenues.

As a last resort, I would gladly stand among my fellow Americans to defend the values that my grandparents fought for and our way of life. However, terrorism is a new type of war that will not be defeated by nuclear or conventional forces.

Americans shouldn't be afraid to challenge old ways with new diplomatic ideas. as long as they correspond with our inherent identity. There are many Notre Dame students who continue to display patriotic feelings. Patriotism is alive and well, even if it takes on a new face. However, we must be willing to admit that our future is now tied up in others; we need to expand American patriotism beyond our borders. To do so, America must accept its position in the new world order. United we stand.

In rough times, consider words ofsages To claim that Notre Dame and everyone

associated with it are not patriotic is to make a very bold claim.

How exactly is patriotism defined? Is patriotism the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons, as Bertrand Russell suggested? Or perhaps George Bernard Shaw was correct when he said, "patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it."

While these may be acceptable defmitions for some, to those who founded this country patriotism would probably be defmed quite differently. These men and women, the first patriots, defmed a patriot as someone who is free to express their own opinions, is able to have open discussion with others and does not blindly or uniformly follow.

When one claims that everyone should take up the philosophy of the World War II generation, he or she also is telling people to deny that the Vietnam War and the social movement of the time took place.

During the Vietnam Era, there were two main philosophies present. The first was that of the World War II generation, and its motto was. "America: Love it or leave it." The second was that of the younger generation, and the motto was, "America: Change it or loose it."

During this time of great political, racial and emotional strife. one figure stepped in and brought clarity to the situation. That

person was Father Theodore Hesburgh. He told us that society was being torn apart because of two types of people: the "uncriticallovers" and the "unloving critics."

Rather than conformity or anarchy, Father Hesburgh suggested that the nation needed to become one of "loving critics." This teaching was an important one during that time, and it is one that we must revisit now.

Mahatma Ghandi told us, "The things that will destroy us are: politics without principle; pleasure without conscience; wealth without work; knowledge without character; business without morality; science without humanity; and worship without sacrifice."

In this world, especially during these times, it is not possible to ignore the beliefs. ideas and opinions of others. It is not enough to blindly support that which has not been analyzed.

In order to truly fulfill the vision with which our nation was founded and be true patriots, we must follow another of Father Hesburgh's teachings. He stated, "you don't make decisions because they are easy; you don't make them because they are cheap; you don't make them because they are popular; you make them because they're right."

Silencing opinions, not dissenting, zs the truly 'un-American' activity

I am offended at Mr. McCarthy's and Ms. Fitzpatrick's slew of uninformed rants regarding those who are not only patriotic Americans, but are also true defenders of democracy.

In a time where ordinary people are struggling to decipher from the chaos of events, the political battles, the war of words, the accusations of lack of patriotism and the zinging near misses of civil rights violations what course of action is best for our nation, it is ignorant to demand a suspension of reason and diplomacy.

It is ignorant to hide it behind a cry for a return to patriotism. McCarthy and Fitzpatrick use emotions rather than reason. In their evidence they fail to recognize that of the 2,800 dead, over 500 were foreigners. This attack was not on America alone.

In regard to the "bed-wetting limousine liberals"' lack of patriotism, such charges have served in the past only as a galvanizing force that leads to the eventual outlawing and curtailing of discussion and debate. People use the charge of lack of patriotism to terrorize people into feeling the fear of being perceived as unpatriotic. They shift the focus from much needed debate on actual issues to targeting red herrings.

The tree-buggers, peace advocates and whale savers are participating more in the American system than their condemning counterparts standing in the corners ignorant. scared and yelling fire. When enough people claim to smell smoke, is it not weird how your senses can sometimes perceive its pungent odor even when it is not present.

These raging liberals that dominate Notre Dame, who escape my attention. actually risk evaluating what they are told and risk ultimately making an informed decision. I can respect that.

Being an American affords us the right to evaluate decisions. and just because those

decisions and opinions may not necessarily put someone first in line as a patriot - there exists an inherent patriotism by observing the right to dissent. Perhaps we need a colorcoded alert system to alert us to shield our civil liberties, to tell us when it could be considered un-patriotic to evaluate both sides of an argument.

The Great Generation which was alluded to fought for democracy to endure. As you might recall, this Great Generation debated intensely over two years before deciding to go to war and did so only after provoked. Yet we do not waste our breath evaluating what would be the first overtly preemptive strike the United States would take against a sovereign nation - a nation. which unlike Japan in WWII has not made a direct attack on the United States.

Whether you are for or against a war. it is not unpatriotic to protest. to talk or God forbid make a careful evaluation of all scenarios. Debate must not be curtailed in the face of scare tactics and in the absence of a legitimate "clear and present danger."

John Stuart Mill used liberty and democracy to allow for the possibility of "human excellence." Liberty of thought, discussion and action are crucial for the creation of independent thought and judgment, according to his political theory.

Although Mill may have said a person must have something to fight for, he most defmitely would have fought for human reason or rationality first. We are not living in an America that is "increasingly un-American." We are living in the most real extension of what America is: a democracy, in the most tangible form, yellow shirts and all.

'Attraction' has action but no plot By NICK LESCANIC Scene Movie Critic

"The Rules of Attraction" is a disturbing movie, but a good kind of disturbing like "Requiem for a Dream," not a bad kind of disturbing like "Freddy Got Fingered."

"Attraction," the new, dark teen comedy from first-time director Roger

Somerhalder). Basically, Paul is in love with Sean, who is in love with Lauren, who is kind of in love with Sean, who screws Lauren's roommate (a vapid Jessica Biel), who screws Lauren's boyfriend Victor.

That's the more than slightly abridged version, as there are many tangential plot elements,

but the Avary (who helped produce "Pulp Fiction" and "American Psycho"). features a wide array of young stars.

"The Rules of Attraction" essence of the film lies in this love triangle, or

First, what was g 0 0 d about the movie.

Stylistically, it was top-notch, with some cool visuals. Avary courtesy

or for anyone who thinks of Rob Schneider movies as a little too cerebral. There are no likeable characters here, or a concrete storyline or a moral to the story. Rather, it's a frenzied amalgamation of excessively raunchy sex, excessively casual drug use, and excessively graphic violence, interspersed with moments of excessively brilliant filmmaking.

the beginning of the film, rewinding to the same moment several times to get a different perspective on the goings-on. It comes off well, without seeming like another "Go" -esque rip-off of "Pulp Fiction."

It's pornography interlaced with art. The plot, so to speak, centers on a

twisted love triangle between Sean (James Van Der Beek), Lauren (Shannyn Sossamon) and Paul (Ian

Some other scenes to look for and admire are a split-screen walkthrough of Sean and Lauren's morning routines, a suicide scene that Avary manages to make incredibly beautiful,

albeit extremely sad and disturbing, and a frenetic three-minute montage in which a several-month long trip to Europe is boiled down to a dizzying series of snapshots and ultra-fast narration.

"Attraction" has an extremely dark sense of humor that I thought was hilarious, but if your idea of high

comedy is watching someone unknowingly take an overdose of laxative and then get really bad diarrhea, don't go see this. This movie's laughs are generated by botched suicide attempts, freaky sex, eating disorders, freaky sex and the misuse of powerful narcotics. And freaky sex.

The actors all do a good job. It's funny to see the darker side of the WB's Dawson (Van Der Beek), and Thomas Ian Nicholas, pl-aying Paul's old flame, steals the show for the few crazy minutes that he's in the film.

Kip Pardue plays Vlstor Johnson, the shallow boyfriend of Lauren Hynde (Shannon Sossamon), part of a love pentagon In "The Rules of Attraction."

There are also some hilarious cameo appearances by a stoned-out-ofhis-mind, clad-only-in-his-underwear

Fred Savage, and a self-medicating, negligent Faye Dunaway.

Finally, the soundtrack is fantastic, featuring great songs like "Situation" by Yaz, "Afternoon Delight" by the Starland Vocal Band, George Michael's "Faith," and Harry Nilsson's "Without You." All are used particularly well in their respective scenes.

However, the story didn't work. It just seems like the filmmakers decided to cram as much debauchery into 90 minutes as they could, and it ends up just being a mish-mash of insane events thrown together into the flimsiest of story arcs.

Furthermore, all of the main characters are horribly flawed people. While this makes for some good laughs, it's hard to identify with any of them or to understand their motivations for doing the things they do. This detracts from the potential appeal of the film.

At times, the direction is so good that these faults can be ignored, but for the rest of the film viewers are left wondering, "What's the point?" While its style is impressive, the lack of mes-sage in the film is not. -

If you want to see an incredibly cool, stylish, and raunchy but ultimately insubstantial film, see "The Rules of Attraction." If not, rent "American Psycho" and see what satire and excess are all about.

THE WORLD ACCORDING TO COOP

'Brown Sugar:' a riotous comedy "When did you first fall in love with hip-hop?"

"Brown Sugar" the new movie by director Rick Famuyiwa, is a story about one woman's love with the great art form, Ilip-hop. This movie awakens in the viewer an appreciation for the great artists that have helped to sculpt and mold hip-hop over the years. The soundtrack is filled with memorable tunes that causes a wave of nostalgia to just overtake you and sweep you along as the story progress.

The love that Sidn!)y, played by Sanaa Lathan,

feels is more than just for the music. This love is shared with Ore, played by Taye Diggs, her longtime companion all the way from childhood. After growing up together, loving hip-hop together, they discover that there is more to this relationship than just a mutual appreciation for music. If you enjoy African-American culture and music, this movie is fantastic because it celebrates one of the best parts of the culture: music. Music has always been an important part of AfricanAmerican culture. In the days of slavery, it provided slaves with a way to communicate and keep a part of their African heritage. The drum beats of the slaves is echoed years later in the beats of hip-hop artists.

The rhythmic nature of the music has always inspired dance, which also comes from the African heritage of the slaves. It is amazing how much music has changed and yet in a way it has stayed similar to the roots from which it sprang forth.

There was only one small, barely insignificant problem with this otherwise wonderful film, and it had nothing to do with the movie. There is

American culture, it was even more refreshing in light of who was stationed out the door.

If you are looking for a movie that will engage the viewer and sweep you away with a feeling, a longing for the good old days of hip-hop, this movie will surely move you in a deep and soulful way. The music is the lovechild of the two principle characters and defines there love. It is impossible not to found yourself swaying to the beat and enjoying the tunes of yesterday.

Kelby (Boris Kodjoe), Reese (Nicole Arl Parker), Sidney (Sanaa Lathan) and Ore (Taye Diggs) consider their romantic options In "Brown Sugar."

NBA

Allen's 14 points lead Bucks over Clippers Associated Press

MILWAUKEE Ray Allen scored 14 points

to lead six players in double figures as the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Los Angeles Clippers 98-7 6 in an NBA exhibition game Wednesday night.

Milwaukee forward Tim Thomas sprained his right ankle less than three minutes into the game and didn't return.

Rookie Ronald Murray and Cedric Henderson scored 15 points apiece for the Bucks (2-1). Toni Kukoc and Dan Gadzuric each added 13. Marcus Haislip had 11 points and 10 rebounds.

Eric Piatkowski led the Clippers (3-2) with 16 points. Marko Jaric, a rookie from Yugoslavia, added 12.

Milwaukee led 74-64 after three quarters, using a 15-0 run to rally from a 60-55 deficit. Allen scored nine points during the run.

The Bucks scored the first seven points of the fourth quarter to lead by 17. The Clippers, missing nine players due to injury, didn't mount a rally the rest of the way.

Michael Olowokandi, Elton Brand, Chris Wilcox, Melvin Ely, Quentin Richardson, Bryant Stith and Keyon Dooling were among those who sat out for Los Angeles.

Murray scored 13 points and Gadzuric had nine in the first half, which ended with the Bucks leading 46-44.

Piatkowski played only 21 minutes, and Andre Miller didn't play in the second half for Los Angeles after scoring nine points in the first half.

The Bucks, who matched the offer sheet by Dallas to guard Michael Redd, expect the third-year player to report as early as Thursday and no later than Friday.

Pacers 91, Nuggets 86 Ron Mercer scored 17

points and Jonathan Bender added 13 as the Indiana Pacers beat the Denver

CLASSIFIEDS

Nuggets Wednesday night in an NBA exhibition game.

Oliver Miller, the 6-foot-9, 325-pound center trying to revive his career after sitting out the last two seasons, scored seven points and established himself as a fan favorite. He drew rousing ovations each time he touched the ball.

Miller had a basket and an assist on consecutive plays in the fourth, giving Indiana an 80-75 lead.

Mercer has started all four exhibition games at shooting guard in place of an injured Reggie Miller, and Bender got his first start at forward in place of Jermaine O'Neal.

Miller and O'Neal were joined on the bench by point guard Jamaal Tinsley, who bruised his right thigh late in the first half. He received treatment at halftime and did not return.

The Nuggets (1-3) trailed by 20 before rallying to take a 73-72 lead in the fourth. Darrick Martin hit a 3-pointer, Donnell Harvey converted a turnover into a layup, then hit a free throw to give Denver a one-point lead.

Fred Jones, Indiana's firstround draft pick, scored and Erick Strickland made two free throws for a 76-73 lead. The Pacers (3-1) never trailed again.

James Posey led Denver with 13 points and Kenny Satterfield had 11.

The Pacers have been hampered by injuries throughout the preseason.

Miller has missed the entire preseason with a sprained right ankle, Ron Artest will miss the next two weeks to allow an injured left pinkie to heal and O'Neal has a sprained left ankle.

Austin Croshere will likely open the season on the injured list with a stress fracture in his right foot.

O'Neal played 11 minutes off the bench and scored eight points.

Even without their injured stars, the Pacers rolled early, as they scored the first eight

points and never trailed until the fourth. They used a 12-2 run in the second quarter to lead by 18.

The Pacers have 14 players under contract, leaving one spot for one of the three freeagent signees Oliver Miller, Greg Foster and Nate Green. With the Pacers so banged up, coach Isiah Thomas said he'll probably keep the players around until the end of the preseason.

Indiana didn't make a 3-pointer.

Knicks 87, Kings 84 Allan Houston scored 19

points and Clarence Weatherspoon added 16 as the New York Knicks beat the Sacramento Kings in an NBA exhibition game Wednesday night.

The Knicks (3-2) played their first game without power forward Antonio McDyess, who had surgery Wednesday on his broken kneecap and is expected to miss the entire season.

McDyess, acquired in a draft day trade with Denver, was injured in an exhibition game last Saturday.

Bobby Jackson scored 18 points for the Kings (2-2). and Peja Stojakovic had 14. Chris Webber added 12 points and 11 rebounds.

After closing the third quarter with nine straights points to take a 74-68 lead, New York went scoreless for the first 7:10 of the fourth quarter before Howard Eisley made two free throws for a 76-74 lead.

Weatherspoon made a baseline jumper and followed with two free throws, putting the Knicks in front for good at 83-80 with 57 seconds remaining.

Hedo Turkoglu and Lawrence Funderburke each had 15 points for Sacramento. Stojakovic scored 10 in the third quarter, when the Kings started playing more inspired defense following a lethargic first half.

Charlie Ward had 11 assists

Blazers 110, Sonics 98 Derek Anderson scored 18

points as the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Seattle Super Sonics 110-98 Wednesday night in an NBA exhibition game.

Portland ( 4-1) also got 17 points from Bonzi Wells and 15 from Damon Stoudamire.

Vladimir Radmanovic led the Sonics with 21 points. Desmond Mason added 14.

The Blazers, sluggish in a 97-79 loss to Golden State on Monday, shot 67.6 percent

from the field as six players scored in double digits.

Both teams shot exceptionally well in the first half, with Seattle hitting 7 4. 3 percent.

But the Sonics struggled in the second half, connecting on 20 percent of their shots as they were held to 14 points in the third quarter.

Portland was without Scottie Pippen (knee surgery), Arvydas Sabonis (strained quadriceps). Ruben Patterson (sprained ankle), and Charles Smith (sore hip).

Vitaly Potapenko (knee surgery) and Ansu Sesay (back spasms) sat out for Seattle.

NFL

Owens doesn't understand furor Associated Press

SANTA CLARA. Calif. Terrell Owens won't be fined

or disciplined by the NFL for his latest innovation in touchdown celebrations - pulling a pen from his sock to autograph the ball.

"However, such acts will not be tolerated going forward," league spokesman Greg Aiello said Wednesday.

Owens, the San Francisco 49ers' All-Pro receiver, caused a stir Monday night in a 28-21 victory over Seattle. After beating cornerback Shawn Springs to score the winning touchdown in the fourth quarter. Owens produced a pen, signed the football and presented it to his financial adviser in the front row.

Owens and many of his teammates thought it was a unique, creative celebration, but some of the Seahawks thought it bordered on taunting. More than one Seattle player suggested retaliation might be in order when the teams play at San Francisco on Dec. 1.

Owens made television and radio appearances earlier this week to defend his actions, but he refused to talk to nearly all local reporters on Wednesday, leaving his teammates to speak for him.

"It's really getting blown out of proportion," center Jeremy Newberry said. "It's ridiculous. I don't think he offended anybody. Any time T.O. does something, the media wants to make a bigger deal about it than it deserves. He didn't sign the ball and give it to Shawn Springs. I don't think anybody in this locker room sees anything wrong with it."

But some members of the Seahawks were angered by Owens' celebration, with coach Mike Holmgren calling it "shameful" and "a dishonor to anyone who ever played this game."

Owens has employed a variety of odd dances and choreographed moves after scoring. He caused his biggest stir more than two years ago when he celebrated two touchdowns by running to the Dallas Cowboys' star logo at midfield in Texas Stadium.

For that, San Francisco coach Steve Mariucci suspended Owens for one game. The episode catalyzed months of bad feelings between player and coach.

Mariucci and the rest of the 49ers had no problem with Owens' latest self-expression, however. The team won't discipline the wideout, Mariucci said.

Boselli's injuries not hidden Associated Press

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. If there was a lemon law in

the NFL, the ·Jacksonville Jaguars would be under investigation for letting the Houston Texans take Tony Boselli in the expansion draft.

But Jaguars coach Tom Coughlin has a clear conscience.

He says the Jaguars never hid any of Boselli's injuries when they talked to the Texans about the All-Pro left tackle. Boselli, still not recovered from three offseason shoulder operations, went on injured reserve Tuesday without playing a snap for the Texans.

"That never entered my mind. Absolutely not," Coughlin said Wednesday when asked if injury considerations led him to expose Boselli to the expansion draft.

It was a move viewed as a stroke of luck and brilliance for the Jaguars. They took advantage of an unprecedented opportunity to not only jettison Boselli's huge contract to clean up their salary-cap mess. but to release a player whose body had clearly taken the punishment of seven tough years in the NFL.

Boselli missed the final 13 games of 2001 with the same shoulder injury that is still bothering him with the Texans. He tore a knee ligament that forced

him out of the 1999 playoffs. He had ankle injuries that forced him out of one game in 1998 and four in 1997. A knee injury kept him out for the first three games of his rookie season in 1995.

Boselli, contacted by ESPN.com, declined to elaborate on how much he knew about his shoulder injuries when he was with the Jaguars, other than to say, 'Tm dealing with more than I thought I was dealing with."

However, Boselli said he has no plans to take any legal action against the firm that originally operated on his shoulder. Boselli's agent, Jack Mills, had suggested in August that he would not "rule out" a medical malpractice lawsuit against the Jaguars team doctor who had originally operated on his shoulder. But when asked by ESPN .com on Wednesday about pursuing that option, Boselli said, "''m not thinking that way right now."

In May, Boselli testified on behalf of former teammate Jeff Novak in Novak's medical malpractice suit against Jacksonville Orthopaedic Institute, the Jaguars' team doctor. Portions of his videotaped testimony were shown when the lawsuit went to trial in July. A jury award of $5.35 million to Novak was later thrown out by the trial judge, and the lawsuit was later resolved in a confidential man-

ner. Boselli was the first player

the Jaguars selected in their expansion season, and the cornerstone of the Jacksonville franchise. Coughlin said letting him go was one of the most difficult things he's done as a coach. He stood by that Wednesday, even though it is becoming more clear each day that the Jaguars made an enlightened decision.

"My gut. my heart was in my throat about doing what we had to do with him," Coughlin said.

Before the Texans took Boselli. the Jaguars supplied them with all his medical records. The Texans also had their own team doctors examine him. Finally, the NFL sent in an independent doctor. who tested Boselli and said he believed he would be able to start working out for the team by June.

In the news conference Tuesday, Houston general manager Charley Casserly acknowledged the miscalculation.

"I have been in the league 25 years and every year you have to make a number of decisions on choosing a player who is not totally recovered from an injury," Casserly said. "So, this was not an uncommon occurrence for us to be in. At the time we made it we thought that Tony would play this season. As happens sometimes with injuries. they are unpredictable."

Shanahan uses videotape to dispute suspension Associated Press

DENVER Class was in session at Denver Broncos

headquarters. Broncos coach Mike Shanahan broke

out a video machine, a large screen and a laser pointer Wednesday in an effort to exonerate strong safety Kenoy Kennedy.

Kennedy was suspended from Denver's game against Kansas City on Sunday for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Miami's Chris Chambers last Sunday. An appeal of the suspension was denied by the league Wednesday morning.

Shanahan started his weekly news conference by showing videos of Kennedy's hit on Chambers and two others this season to support his belief that Kennedy should not have been suspended. He also showed the video to Broncos players in the morning.

"The reputation of Kenoy Kennedy right now is somewhat damaged," Shanahan said. "I think it's fair for people to look at that film and make their own decisions. You may not agree with my assessment, that's up to you.

"But I thought it was fair, though, to show you exactly what I was looking at, and what I based my opinions on."

Shanahan first showed a helmetto-helmet hit Kennedy had on San Diego's Fred McCrary last week, one that cost Kennedy $10,000.

McCrary caught a sideline pass inside Denver's 10-yard line on the play, then was hit straight on by Kennedy.

Shanahan said the league told him that Kennedy was fined because McCrary was in a defenseless position, but he moved the video back and forth several times to show McCrary's feet were already on the ground when Kennedy hit him.

He also said the league told him that it was obvious McCrary was going to come down without the ball.

"The NFL discrepancy right now is that they know that this ball is going to the ground. They know it's incomplete," Shanahan said. ''I'm saying, 'Wait a minute, there's a disagreement there.' If you can't tell 100 percent one way or the other, how can you fine a guy? To me, that's a solid football play. It should not be fined."

Shanahan next showed Kennedy's hit on Chambers in Miami's 24-22 victory over the Broncos.

Chambers went up to catch a high pass from Jay Fiedler, but dropped the ball when the top of Kennedy's helmet hit him in the facemask.

Chambers, who lay on the field for about five minutes before being helped off, suffered a concussion and might not be able to play against Buffalo this weekend.

Shanahan said the league suspended Kennedy because there was an intent to injure, but he used the video to show that Chambers' head was actually knocked down toward Kennedy by Denver's Denard Walker.

Showing the angle from the end zone, Shanahan used the laser pointer to indicate where Walker took both of his hands and pushed Chambers' head down toward his chest. He said Kennedy was on line to hit Chambers in the chest until Walker pushed his head.

Shanahan said he showed the image to the league, but was told Walker's actions had no impact on the hit.

"Now, don't get me wrong. Anytime a guy hits helmet-to-helmet, regardless of what Denard does, it's a fine," Shanahan said. "My problem with this play was that

there was no intent, in my opinion, to do this. The only reason it happened this way, is he's pushing his head down."

Shanahan also showed a clip of a hit Kennedy had earlier in the Miami game in which Kennedy pulls up instead of hitting the player head on.

He said Kennedy was thinking about his two fines this season - he was also docked $7,500 for a hit on St. Louis' Isaac Bruce - when he pulled up, which shows he was conscious about not leading with his head.

"In the National Football League, integrity is No. 1, but also what's important is how people perceive our organization and our football players," Shanahan said. "I have a difference of opinion, that this guy should not be suspended. And there's no way, in my opinion, is there intent."

AFP

"He wasn't doing anything malicious. I know the type of guy he is and what type of player he is, and that's not his type of game. The film showed it," safety Izell Reese said. "It was evident that he didn't try to hit the guy head to head. He was aiming for his chest and his head got pushed from behind. What do you do about that?"

The Broncos' Kenoy Kennedy tackles San Diego's Tim Dwight. Kennedy was suspended for a helmet-t~helmet hit he made last week.

Facts and Figures on Poverty and America's Working Poor

The poverty rate in 2001 was 11.7 percent, up from 11.3 percent in 2000.

In 2001, there were 6.8 million poor families, up from 6.4 million poor families in 2000.

36% of persons living ln poverty are children-the 2001 poverty rate of 16.3% for children is is over 1.5 times as high as the poverty rate for any other age group.

Two trends appear in the rise in homelessness in the past 15-20 years: a growing shortage of affordable rental housing and a simultaneous increase in poverty .

. Two prime factors account for the increase in poverty: eroding employment opportunities for large seg· ments of the workforce and declining value and availability of public assistance.

Things are heating up again!

The Center for Social Concerns is gearing up for another successful run of Project Warmth. Last year, over 2000 coats were received and distributed to sites all across the country, including the Appalachia region, Indian reservations in the Dakotas, and outreach facilities around the South Bend area.

Team presidents of the Mariners, New York Mets and Tampa Bay Devil Rays have spoken about ex-Mariners manager Lou Piniella, but no deals have been made. Piniella led Seattle to a record 116 victories in 2001.

The Mariners said they'd listen to the Mets and Devil Rays and the conversation could be compelling.

"No agreements were reached," Mariners spokesman Tim Hevly said. NEW YORK

Lou Piniella may not be out of work very long.

After releasing Piniella from the final year of his contract because he wants to work closer to home, the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday fielded calls from other teams interested in talking with their exmanager.

If he really wants a short commute from his Florida home, the Tampa Bay job is open.

However, it's unlikely the budget-conscious Devil Rays would be able to pay him enough or be able to adequately compensate the Mariners for allowing him to manage elsewhere.

Piniella fits that profile. managing Cincinnati to the World Series championship in 1990 and Seattle to a record 116 victories in 2001.

On Tuesday night, Armstrong said a third team he would not identify asked for permission to interview Piniella.

"The Mariners will seek to negotiate reasonable compensation from such clubs in exchange for releasing Lou from his employment contract," the team said.

He also has New York roots, with two terms as manager of the Yankees, a team he played with for 11 seasons.

Mariners president Chuck Armstrong spoke with New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon and Tampa Bay Devil Rays managing general partner Vince Naimoli but made no deals involving outgoing manag-

The New York Mets, however, are another story.

Piniella won't come cheap. He was due to make $2.5 million with the Mariners next season and would likely want at least three years at $3 million. That's well beyond the Tampa Bay budget.

That means players and/or cash. Although the team owes

ex-manager Bobby Valentine $2.7 million for the final year of his contract, Wilpon wants a highprofile individual with a

IN BRIEF

Williams close to signing contract extension

Gary Williams, who guided Maryland to its first national basketball championship in April, may soon have another cause for celebration.

Maryland and representatives for the Terrapins' coach are moving closer to an agreement on a contract extension and pay raise for Williams, who is already signed through the 2007-08 season.

Sources told the Baltimore Sun that the new deal could be signed by next week.

The new deal would keep Williams under contract for an additional year, through 2009.

Williams signed a seven-year extension in May 2001, shortly after taking the Terrapins to their first Final Four appearance.

The current pact pays him $1 million a year plus incentives. He has a record of 27 4-143 at Maryland and has taken the Terrapins to the NCAA tournament in nine straight seasons.

Gadsden and Chambers questionable for Sunday

Dolphins receiver Oronde Gadsden might miss the rest of the season after spraining his left wrist last weekend against the Broncos.

He was listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Buffalo.

Miami's other starting receiver, Chris Chambers, has a concussion and also was listed as questionable Wednesday.

As it is, the Dolphins will be forced to turn to a backup at quarterback.

Ray Lucas will replace Jay Fiedler, who has a broken thumb.

Dedric Ward and James McKnight would start for Gadsden and Chamber<.

"It's "We h role."

.1e to shine," Ward said. ·'-' step up and play a big

Robert Baker, a third-year pro who has never played in an NFL game, could become the No. 3 receiver.

Gadsden hurt his wrist at Denver but played the rest of the game.

If he doesn't find another job Piniella wouldn't be paid the $2.5 million that is due in the final year of his contract.

Lewis anxious to return, doctors not so anxious

Ray Lewis remains sidelined by a shoulder injury and could miss the Baltimore Ravens' game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

The Pro Bowl linebacker partially separated his left shoulder on Oct. 6 against the Cleveland Browns.

He sat out Baltimore's 22-20 loss to the Indianapolis Colts last week -ending a run of 63 straight starts -and was listed as doubtful Wednesday in the team's injury report.

"I don't know if I can play this Sunday," Lewis said. "I want to, but the doctors will let me know. My gut tells me that if I can play, it will be a game-day decision."

The last thing the Ravens want to do is have their stellar middle linebacker further injure himself by returning prematurely.

"We don't want to risk long-term ramifications," coach Brian Billick said. "We're going to be smart."

Irish dominate Spartans 2-0 for third shUtout By JOE HETTLER Associate Sports Editor

It wasn't a Big East opponent, but embarrassing Michigan State 2-0 still felt good for the Notre Dame mens soccer team Wednesday night at Alumni Field.

The Irish outshot the Spartans 27-3 in the first match between the programs since 1993. The win gives Notre Dame (7-3-3) their third straight shutout victory and their longest winning streak of the season

The win also helps improve Notre Dame's standing in the regional rankings used for NCAA Tournament considerations.

"(Michigan State] had done well earlier in the season and so they were respected around our region," defenseman Luke Boughen said. "So it was kind of nice to take them apart like we did."

Notre Dame's defense was so dominating that Irish goalkeeper Greg Tait had to make only one stop all night. Spartan goalkeeper Tyler Hobinson saved 11 shots.

Notre Dame's leading point scorer. Chad Hiley, put the Irish ahead early with his third goal of the season. The goal came with less than two minutes left before halftime.

In the second half. Hiley's roommate, Devon Prescod,

added another goal for Notre Dame when he headed in a direct kick from teammate Kevin Goldthwaite at the 64:40 mark.

Notre Dame's solid defensive line of Jack Stewart, Kevin Richards and Dale Hellas prevented the Spartans from mounting any offensive attack and provided Tait with his third consecutive shutout since he replaced injured goalie Chris Sawyer Oct. 4.

In their 13 games played this season, the Irish have allowed a total of 12 goals.

Boughen said the team knew Michigan State would be a tough opponent and came out ready to play well.

"The problem we had been having was coming into games against ttnranked opponents and not playing as well as we can," Boughen said. "We always seem to get up for the big games, so we kind of knew we had to take this team a little more seriously, and that's partly why we did so well."

With the win Wednesday, the Irish improve to 7-0-1 against the Spartans at home.

Notre Dame's next game will be critical as the Irish face Big East rival Connecticut Oct. 20 at 2 p.m. at Alumni Field.

Siegfried steamrolls over St. Edward's Baskets of Elegance Custom Made Theme Baskets

for any Occasion By PAT LEONARD and JUSTIN SCHUVER Sports Writers

Siegfried was there last year. They were undefeated in the regular season. They marched through the playoffs. They reached the interhall championship game in the Stadium.

But they were denied in the grand finale.

Wednesday night at Riehle Field, the Siegfried Ramblers steamrolled St. Ed's, 22-6, finishing a second straight season without a loss and securing the No. 1 seed in the interhall playoffs.

The Siegfried offense was in playoff form against St. Ed's Wednesday. Quarterback Bill Bingle threw for 73 yards, three touchdowns, and a pair of 2-point conversions. Running back Tim Breitbach turned in a solid performance with 116 yards on the ground and nine yards receiving.

"We usually try to put it on the ground first and then see what happens from there," said Bingle.

The Ramblers ran five times on their opening, eight-play drive, which was capped by a 4 yard touchdown pass from Bingle. This became a trend in play-calling during the remainder of the first half. Breitbach gained substantial yardage to open drives, and Bingle capitalized when the Ramblers neared the end zone.

"Those three guys - Bingle, Breitbach, and John Karp -have been our best on offense this season," said Torgenson. Karp caught Bingle's second and longest touchdown pass of 36 yards against St. Ed's on Wednesday.

"The goal all year has been to return to the championship, and we're not going to stop until we do," said Torgenson.

St. Ed's, on the other hand, managed only a spurt of offense. They opened the second half with a nine-play, 65-yard drive. Joe Pomeranke made a diving catch in the corner of the endzone to put St.Ed's on the board.

The heroics came too late, however. The 22-0 deficit Siegfried had built in the first half proved too much for the undermanned St. Ed's squad. With the dorm's baseball team playing in the interhall championship game, the St. Ed's football squad was missing five starters.

"We were short-handed against a very good team," said Zeller. "But I think we gave a good effort against a team that made it to the championship game last year."

The Siegfried coaches and players did not use St. Ed's being short-handed as an excuse to minimize their efforts on this night. They also feel confident in their overall efficiency this season.

"Our offense has been pretty consistent all year. with the exception of the Knott game when we came out a little flat," said Torgenson.

and the athlete having no trouble making noise, Earl is left to be the non-vocal member of the team. The question remains, however, whether it's because Earl is naturally soft-spoken, or because he just can't get a word in edgewise.

"I am not sure if the others leave enough space for him to communicate," Willingham laughed. "I mean, he might just naturally take that role because that's all that's left."

Earl has spent a lot of time hoping to be that big hitter, but injuries have kept in on the sideline. He missed a majority of last season due to a variety of injuries, including a strained quadriceps and a separated shoulder. But this

season, he's been back on the field and hasn't let injury keep him out.

"Some guys have it in their makeup," Willingham said. "They just love the physical portion of it and they play more physical than the next man .... I think Glenn is a special kind of guy that he really enjoys that and whatever his wiring is or makeup is, that's a huge part of what he does and how he plays."

On Saturday, the coach, the athlete, the leader and, most importantly, the head hunter will be out looking to make the big plays one more time.

"It's the mentality of our coaches, telling us that we not only want to make the team turn it over, we want to score," Earl said. "It just rubs off, and everyone gets a chance."

Sergei Samsonov, Joe Thornton and Glen Murray combined for four goals and five assists as Boston came from behind three times to win 6-3.

The Bruins took the lead for good when Samsonov scored with 2:08 left in the second period. Samsonov, all.alone in the slot, one-timed Thornton s

pass from behind the net behind Dan Cloutier.

Murray scored his first two goals of the season and assisted on the go-ahead goal, and Thornton added his first goal into an empty net and had two assists.

P.J. Axelsson had a shorthanded goal, and Marty Mcinnis also scored for the Bruins (2-1), who rebounded from a lopsided season-opening loss in Minnesota with impressive road wins over Colorado and Vancouver.

At the 5:59 mark in the second half, Albion midfielder Ashley Rosaen scored her second goal of the season off of an assist from midfielder Deanna DeRoo. That goal gave Albion the one goal they needed to win.

An Irish player prepares to take a shot during the Notre Dame Invitational earlier this year. The Irish finished tied for seventh.

By ANDY TROEGER Sports Writer

For the frrst two rounds of the Marilynn Smith Sunflower Invitational, the Notre Dame womens golf team played just as it had hoped all season. While the third round was more of a struggle, the team still was pleased with its overall performance as they tied for seventh in the 17-team field.

The Irish fired rounds of 307-308-320 for a 935 totaL

The 307 and 308 marked the team's two best rounds of the season thus far, and was also a milestone for the history of Irish golf. Notre Dame's previous best round was a 310 in the second round of the Notre Dame Invitational in September.

"That was the first time that we've broken 310 two times in a row in the program's history," said Notre Dame coach Debby King. "Mentally they're trying to just play in the moment and take one shot at a time and it is fmally starting to sink in."

Youth again paced the Irish, as freshman Sarah Bassett and sophomore Karen Lotta led the Irish by tying for 20th at 231. Bassett fired rounds of 76 and 74 Monday to put herself in contention before struggling with an 81 Tuesday. Lotta fired three consecutive rounds of 77 to pace the Irish.

Freshman Katie Brophy also

played well, frring rounds of 77, 76 and 80 to finish at 233 in a tie for 28th. Interested in ..... .

"That's what I expect of them," King said of her top golfers. "It doesn't surprise me at all to see them play well, they're that good."

Rounding out the Irish contingent were junior Shannon Byrne, who tied for 50th at a score of 240 (77-81-82). and junior Rebecca Rogers, who fired 249 to tie for 76th (81-83-85).

Earl made big block, now wants big hits By KATIE McVOY Associate Sports Editor

They call him the "big hitter."

As part of a secondary that is never at a loss for words, Glenn Earl comes across as the quiet one. He doesn't have Shane Walton or Vontez Duffs cocky comebacks or Gerome Sapp's "natural born leader" fa{:ade. But he doesn't need those. When he hits, he hits hard.

"He loves to hear [that he's the big hitter]." defensive coordinator Kent Baer said. "When we talk to him about it, when I talk to him about, his eyes light up."

He's aiming to be the big hitter. Two years ago, when he was a little-known member of the Irish special teams unit, he made himself famous by blocking an Air Force field goal that allowed the Irish to take the game into overtime. What's more, he blocked it because he was doing the wrong thing. But he doesn't want to be remembered for that, he wants to really make a name as that big hitter.

"If my job is to hit people and try to cause some chaos, that's fine with me," Earl said.

Earl did just that on Saturday against Pittsburgh. Late in the fourth quarter, Earl hit Pittsburgh's quarter-

WOMENS SOCCER

back Rod Rutherford, causing a fumble, which he recovered. That was a step in the right direction.

"The secondary and the defense are really opportunistic," Earl said. "We always try to make a play - to pop a ball loose or get a pick and score with it."

Earl is a member of secondary that has been making those big plays all season. Labeling themselves as "the coach," "the athlete," "the leader," and "the headhunter." According to Walton, the coach, Earl is the headhunter.

Although Irish coach Tyrone Willingham wasn't completely aware of the nicknames the secondary had assigned to themselves, his assessment of his secondary was close to their own.

"You have got Shane [Walton] that's probably a little more outspoken," Willingham said. "He could be the legislator of the group. You have got Glenn [Earl] that's probably a little more quiet, probably the hitter of the group ... Gerome [Sapp] could be kind of the overall leader. I think you might say Vontez [Duff] may be he athletic specimen."

So, there's the coach, the head-hunter, the leader and

Rebounding Irish hope to topple Wolverines By ANDY TROEGER Sports Writer

The Notre Dame womens soccer team sent a message last Sunday to the rest of the teams that they will play this season.

Despite struggling through the middle of their season, the Irish dominated No. 8 Connecticut on their way to a 3-1 win.

Now they hope to continue their good play as they travel Michigan to play an important regional game against the No. 13 Wolverines.

"I hope [the win over Connecticut] is a takeoff for the rest of the week and the rest of the season," said Irish coach Randy Waldrum. "We still need
